Anybody know what kind of encryption is used for storage?

The iCloud security and privacy overview says it uses encryption for storage, but doesn't mention what kind/strength. Any idea?

iCloud-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Only Apple knows for certain, and they're not talking:

Apple would not disclose to us the methods used to encrypt data on disk, and merely claimed to use industry standard practices to ensure user data is stored securely.


from Ask Ars: how safe is my data stored in iCloud?
